Chapter Text
Duke stared at her for quite a while
"Seo Jiwoo?"
He spoke
"yeah?" Jiwoon pulled the door open all the way
"........Jiwoo?" Duke asked again
"huh? what's wrong?" She tilt her head to the side
'what's up with Duke? I heard his been searching for me'
"I heard you've been looking for me, do you want another match" she asked
After that Duke's eye darkened
"i do want another match with you and i know you'll accept"
Jiwoon sharpen her gaze
"then let's fight"
Duke chuckle
"right, by the way were you bored?"
"huh? Of what?"
"what's up dressing like a guy last time?"
Jiwoon didn't utter a word
"didn't you hear me-"
The door slammed closed right in front of Duke's face
"what? How dare....hah!!"
*inside the dorm*
"nononono oh noooo"
Jiwoon held her head as if she's going insane
"oi you'll get hurt grabbing your head like that" Kartein said
"what happened?" The chubby cat asked
"UWAHHH!" she hugged Kayden tightly burying her face to his majestic big ass belly
"ackk! Hey!?"
"oi kid what's wrong???" Kartein began to panic as Jiwoon face is getting redder and Kayden face getting blue
"Mr kay... I... ..ess.. ..."
"what i can't understand whut you saying"
Kartein transform into his human form
He held Jiwoon's head up away from big belly Kayden
Kayden gasped
"shit i thought im going to die"
"what is it?"
A tear escaped her eyes
"I.....mess up"
"huh?"
Jiwoon began to tell them what happened
"nah shit" Kayden cursed out
"what do i do?"
"nothing" Kartein said
"judging Duke's personality if you tell him not to tell anyone then he probably won't"
"how are you sure?" Jiwoon sat up straight
"think about it will there be any benefit to Duke telling this little secret of yours to everybody?"
"well....no"
"exactly" Kartein smirks
"here read this and go tell him" Kayden handed a paper to Jiwoon
"ah? This"
"i knew you wouldn't come up with a excuse yourself so i made one for you to tell duke, you better memorize that"
Kayden sign opening a new cat treat
"yes thank you!"
Duke's POV (hi surprise)
'to think that i lose to a girl?! This is unacceptable, i already got humiliated because Jiwoo is unaffiliated'
I exited the building
"tsk fuck this shit"
I clenched my fist restraining myself from going wild
"Duke!"
I turn my head
It was Jiwoon
"hah.. After slamming the door in front of me"
Jiwoon came to me running
Panting a bit she bow down
"i'm sorry!"
I was taken aback
"huh? For what?"
Jiwoo straightened but her head still hanging low
"well...for suddenly leaving you like that"
".....no it's Alright" I sign
"uhmm can you please keep it a secret?"
This made me confused
"what are you talking about?"
I fully face Jiwoon
"well you see it was supposedly a secret that i'm.....originally a girl and now i'm just pretending to be a twin sister"
I said nothing so Jiwoon continued talking
"and the reason i'm hiding my gender in the first place is that to fit in more"
"fit in more?" I frowned
"being a gi-"
"no" cutting her off
"huh" Jiwoon lift up her head
"no need to tell me the reason"
Jiwoon eyes widened
"it looks like a personal one and i dont intend to meddle"
'this has nothing to do with me'
I got suddenly pull
Jiwoon held my hand
"thank you very much Duke!!"
"I..i-..what"
"i knew i can trust you" she smiled at me
"well i..."
I must look dumb that i cant utter a word out
".....hahh well as long as i can have a match with you then everything's good" i said
"of course! Oh and my name is Jiwoon not Jiwoo"
"sure"
she let go of my hand
"i gotta go see you then!" she said running back inside of the building
Waving at me
I turn around continued walking
'for a girl like her isn't her hand too soft?'
I stopped on my tracks
"so what if it soft?"
'tsk....huh?'
Looking at the outside window of a building
My reflection....
"am i sick? Why my face is red?"
